Default Honey bees nesting in garden

It seems like we have some honey bees nesting in our garden. They have

made
a little hole in the soil and are going in and out quite frequently. Are
they OK to keep where they are as we have 2 small children
Thanks for your help

My mother has literally hundreds of holes in her (sandy) frint lawn in which
some sort of bee lives. Looks like just a few (maybe one) per hole though.
Have you got lost of holes and many bees, or are many bees really living in
just one hole? Anyway, she hasnt been stung in the past 20 years despite
walking over the lawn every day several times. You probably have something
similar and are at similar risk, ie slim to none. BTW, I very much doubt
they are honey bees.
